5 SWEEP PICKING EXERCISES

[@liambaillie218]

I wanted to say that since I was a kid I dreamed of being able to sweep pick. I had learned most other techniques but could never sweep, no matter how hard I practiced. At the start of lockdown I came across this video and decided to just practice the shapes once a day. A few months on and one of my biggest goals on guitar has been unlocked and I don't think I could have done it without this video. I can not express how happy this has made me, thank you so much.

[@clinttustin]

damn, this is what i love to see! ❤️

[@leonardosanturio6931]

dude right now its happening the same to me, i've been playing guitar for ten years and that always ran away from me, but i have one month practicing with this exercices and i must to say im reaching my goal, thank you clint tustin, thank you for make me feel the power of guitar again

[@clinttustin]

@@leonardosanturio6931 Hell yea! This is me with alternate picking right now after failing for 15 years haha

[@leonardosanturio6931]

@@clinttustin thanks a lot again, please if you know any trick of how getting better with alternate picking with two notes per string that would be awesome lol hahahaha greetings and keep it up my friend

[@harrisonduncan3]

Fiiiiiinally someone actually showing different patterns various techniques, instead of the same boring explanation that everyone else does only showing 1 lick. Dude. Thank you. This is gonna help a lot for me

[@MykSau]

Man, Im amazed by this strange high quality content and your quite low audience ratio... All those other big guitar channels give exercises that are either too complicated to figure out, or too boring/easy to be worth doing for someone who is trying to become more advanced player. This video is something that works perfectly for me. Right in the middle. Been doing theese exercises for a couple of weeks, they helped me to visualize the scale better and to improve my sweep picking. Your videos are so satisfying to watch. Put some work to promotion!!!! You should be among those big channels. Cheers.

Would be glad if u upload a video on shapes of legato runs, thanks

[@tarun1975]

k.a.m_dh this is my fourth year bruv, I probably play guitar the whole day I guess, literally the whole day the guitar stays in my hand these quarantined days, but just an advice, never practise without a metronome and the clarity of the notes would be ur first aim. The rest is technique, develop one that u feel easy with. Cheers 🤘

Literally my 2nd day playing the guitar what the fuck im doing here

[@edit3407]

Don’t know how relevant this is but bro learn your major scale and your minor scale and boom now you can play in any key just move it! Once you have it memorized come back and learn how to sweep, you’ll understand how the sweep patterns fit into the scale and outline chords. Also learn your triads and how to tap! These are all modern day essentials. Good luck on your journey friend, and never give up!!

[@MrFrostcold]

hahahahaha

[@ivanquiroga6283]

how is it going?

[@mcfuckface7149]

How is your progress going?

[@JunkRemovalPros]

Because you’re being drawn into the quicksand of the non-soulful shred. I was a victim of this demon as well for a long time so I can recognize it. People that play like the guy in this video seem to be truly amazing because they play skills and sequence is literally perfect. But unlike the original Eddie Van Halen, there is no personality. However, with all that said, I do come here to learn skills and techniques to add to my Eugene trick box.

[@eddyray666]

Hey Clinton, just wanted to say that I'm really grateful for your content. It has what a lot of other videos lack: It's succinct while still having all the necessary information. The fact that tempos and tabs are provided is really helpful. In short, it ticks all the boxes (even features a cat). Thanks man.

[@theconversation9103]

Exercise 3 at 1:25 is superb - it's a catchy riff that makes it fun to practice for long periods

I made it to 95 bpm on exercise 2 at decent accuracy. First time creating something that sounds marginally good while sweep picking. I've been playing for 14 years and just dismissed it a long time ago as something I couldn't/didn't need to do. Thanks for these exercises man.

[@zacherynoland8395]

Thanks for playing that last 12th fret again (on the A string) at the end of the 75bpm first sweep. It helped me figure out where to loop the sweep during the pattern. The tab displayed, is played twice. I could not figure out how to loop the whole thing. That is, until I saw you hit the 12th fret twice in a row in the middle section and at the very end of the riff. Took me a few re watches but you made quite simple and I got it now! Awesome video, great playing, Thank you for showing us these juicy sweeps

[@clinttustin]

Hey, of course man. Yea, i basically just did that for looping purposes like you said. Practicing sweeps slow to a metronome or a beat is super helpful to me and I need to go back and brush up on it all the time

Awesome video. I’ve been playing guitar for over 20 years and sweep picking was always the technique that I found impossible. Your video has really helped me to unlock this technique and by doing these exercises each day really does work wonders. Another useful tip guys to get that fluid sound is to use the neck pickup. Sounds basic but it makes a huge difference when sweeping with the neck pickup rather than than the bridge. Just subscribed to your channel. 🤟🏻🎸

[@NONE2NONE]

This video reminds me of why I hate guitarists explaining what they're doing "Ok guys, so I start with the fourth finger on the 10th fret of the 5th string. So I pick downwards and then the next note I go to play is the bla blah blah." Dude, just show the tab above and play slow once fast once, just like the guy in the video.

[@bluestringmusic]

Right ? I don't know why some people assume guitarists don't know how to read a tab or rewind / pause a KZbin video.

[@milo8407]
